Have you ever had Kind granola? Oh my are you missing out if you haven't! I don't typically buy oats and foods that contain oats because my daughter cannot eat it, even gluten free. I do believe this has made my weekly grocery list! My other kids can eat oats and it has been amazing to watch them ask for this for breakfast and snacks! This granola is absolutely amazing! Oh and we also put it on our ice cream!!

We got to try the Cinnamon oat clusters with flax seeds and the dark chocolate and cranberry clusters. It was a tough decision on which was best, but we really enjoyed the cinnamon oat clusters. We would eat it straight up in a bowl with almond milk, or my favorite, on top of greek yogurt with fresh fruit. This makes a great snack, or meal! I love that it is so fresh and not processed.

We also got to try what seemed like every flavor Kind makes of the granola bars! Our favorites were: Dark chocolate nuts and sea salt, Fruit and nuts in yogurt, Fruit and nut delight, and peanut butter dark chocolate. There was not one that we didn't like, we just liked these the best.

Do you want your kids to go to a party and enjoy the treats without the worry of contamination? How about joining us for a gluten free party for the kids!
